A shelter dog’s poem

Once upon a time, you see,
There was this little pup
For reasons unbeknownst to me,
His family gave him up
 
Maybe it was chewing
Everything that he could find
Maybe they were busy and
Just didn’t have the time
 
They took him to the shelter
And they just left him there
Outside, alone, in the cage
Shivering and scared
 
Even though they knew inside
If he went through those doors
He may never have the chance
To find a home like yours

He sat there crying silently
Wondering what he did
That was so bad that they just
Had to leave him like they did 

However fate was smiling
On that little pup that day
Because a lady saw him
And she whisked him right away 

He got a second chance at life
That others may have not
And now he’s in a loving home
With everything he wants 

Every day he gets that love
That he was looking for
And silently is thankful for when
She walked through that door 

Others may not have this chance
So open up your heart
And adopt a shelter dog to take
And give a brand new start
